Elks, however, have performed this won-
derful feat, and last Monday
night their first annual ball was
a society event tnat will be an amaranth
among memory's flowers and the pleas

its gaities will only grow dim to make
way for the glad announcement that the
then, the Elks are an order out OF the
usual rule-born in the common
good fellowship of honorable young
men, they seem to have no

sociability and benevolence. Here they
do not stop, neither do they grow older.
The Elks of odny are the same in every
way except numbers as they were Mt the
dawn of organization, and will remain
the same ut the evening twilight of time.
Their social gatherings, whether com
menlorative of anniversary events or ar
on the spur of the moment are invariably
delightful occasions-times when all par
tcipants have every heart burn removed
